"Paul you were one of the best Baseball Coaches that i ever had the pleasure to coach against. It didn't take long when my Coral Park ballclub went against your Curley ballclub for me to realize what a great baseball mind that you had. Your Coaching developed Hall Of Famer Andre Dawson at Southwest High You were also a P.H.D OF Literature spending years teaching in the poverty stricken area of Northwestern High School. We at the Miami Baseball Forum love you and will miss your acumen. Jessus has a great teacher and Coach with him. Love, Red Berry...."
